Day 2. More digging and weeding

Another beautiful day and another afternoon on the allotment. Basically the same as yesterday but started planning out a new raised bed.

Also weeded one of my raised beds. A lot of couch grass.

See what i get done the rest of halfterm

Day one of halfterm

Had a lovely 3 hours at the allotment today with the whole family. We got a fair bit of digging done and tidied up the raspberry canes and black currents and gooseberries.

The boys enjoyed finding worms and the photo shows my youngest with one of the ones he found.

The ground was still wet but just about diggable. Looking forward to spending even more time there this week.

Beginning halfterm

Potato's have been brought and are chitting. Lots of rubbish has been taken to the tip.

Now about to start halfterm and have a long list of jobs.

1. Dig over as much as i can
2. Prepare the way for a new front fence
3. Complete at least 1 new path
4. Manure beds

We'll see how far I get.

A new year, a new start

So i popped down to the allotment yesterday to check how wet it was and to begin planning the beds etc for this year. Took a few pictures so i can see the progress we make this year. The pile of wood is for a new fence.

Ground still quite wet but planning on doing a lot of clearing next week...

Bonfire

Had bonfire and sparklers tonight. Kids enjoyed it and most of my rubbish burnt. Good times

The guttering...

Today I got the guttering up round the shed. Have got one water butt and hopefully the offer of some more so am hoping to be saving a lot more water.

Still very muddy but hoping that the guttering will also help take some water from the area.

Still have more digging to do. If it stays dry will get some done tomorrow.

Halloween

Just a few pictures really... Carried on digging
